Description

Table 1. List of newly found populations analysed in the present study. Types of analyses: DNA, DNA sequencing; LCM, imaging and morphometry of individuals and exuviae in PCM/NCM/UVM; SEM, imaging by SEM. The number in each analysis indicates how many specimens were used in a given method (f, adult females; j, juveniles; l, larvae; v, exuviae; numbers of vouchers fixed on permanent slides are given in parentheses).

aWith no DNA data available for this population,this is an uncertain conspecificity with Echiniscus brunus sp. nov. or Echiniscus aff. brunus sp.can.1 or with another new cryptic species of the E.brunus complex.
